rhe COAL MARKET.
The amount Of coal that arrived In
San Francisco last week was 2, $40 tons.
or this immense quantity, L. 4I tons
vent from Puget Sound. Nanaimo and
Departure Bay furnished sls9 and Aus
| tralia 1854. This Is the largest gain IN
the shipment Of coal from the sound
over the golfers in British ColuRbia
during the last six months. Prices
have further advanced. and consumers
making contracts at the present time
for their future requirements wJuld be
compelled TO pay fancy prices, with
every likelihood Of q still further adj
vance Of prices in the near future, and
q possibility of q maintenance OF those
rates for the whole year, provided some
unity of management IL adopted by the
coast managers They will shortly have
complete control Of the market With
their products. Ali the foreign coal to
arrive there, excepting few oargoes,
has already passed into several hands,
and the quantity on route and loading
is gradually diminishing. Hence the
making of Qaotations Is entirely under
the control Of the local managers of our
northern mines. The recent wheat
combination has disorganized all for
eign importatioEs, and coal, as freights
from Great Britain have been seriously
disturbed, and the uncertainty Of what
the future will dedelop hsndicaps every
branch Of trade. The Puget Sound
ealliers may expect to exsort large
quantity Of coal this year 10 San Fran
cisco, and in reality, IL the present ia
dications are fulfilled, the largest ever
shipped during any previous year. The
margin in the difference Of quality be-
tween cur coal and that from Australia
is 80 small that consumers are beRiL ming
10 give preference 10 that received from
the northern mines.
